Mashup

I'm a fan of the "let's put x together with y" approach at the Grammys - it may not always work, but why not try it? The appeal of music should be universal, so why does it matter if Coldplay doesn't quite mesh with Rhianna? It's worth a try. And it makes me wonder about some of the possibilities that were missed in years long past, back when artists like this would not have been allowed within a mile of the Grammy stage:

- Otis Redding and Petula Clark

- The Beatles and Stevie Wonder

- James Brown and Dusty Springfield

I'll go with any of these tandems you have, Jeff.

I thought of another one - Dionne Warwick and Glen Campbell.

Didn't they? I seem to remember Dionne made an appearance on Glen's old CBS variety show. But maybe, they didn't sing a duet.

Wow, if they did, I missed it. That would have been awesome.
